Antequera has one of the largest and most important prehistoric burial sites in Spain, dating from the Bronze Age. Dolmen Menga is the largest single dolmen in western Europe, and dates from around 2,500BC. It has a 25-metre-long subterranean gallery lined with 32 four-metre-tall stone slabs (mined from a nearby quarry), the largest weighing 180 tons, leading to a burial chamber.
The Roman era brought great prosperity to Antequera (named "the Ancient City", or Antikaria, by them). Among the treasures from that age are a very rare, small bronze statue of a boy, "Ephebus of Antequera", dating from the 1st century AD
Antequera is famous for its desserts, such as ienmesabe (meaning "tastes good to me"), a sponge-based pudding with almonds and cinnamon; and angelorum a concoction of sponge, meringue and egg yolk. As well as in local pastelerias, you can buy these in the Convento de Belen, and the Convento de San Jose.
